After wrapping up business in the post town, we then headed to the Sauti settlement. I was the only one who had been summoned, though, and since I intended to stop by the Ririn settlement on the way back as well, I was going to need Toor Deen and the others to handle the preparations for tomorrow. My original plan was to send everyone else home in Fafa’s wagon and head to the Sauti settlement alone, but the members of the Ruu clan had asked to accompany me. Dari Sauti was in charge of overseeing the clearing work, and Donda Ruu had apparently said they should be there if he was going to make a request of me.

Speaking of Donda Ruu, he had finally resumed his hunting work at the start of the brown month. The lord of the forest had gored his right shoulder, forcing him to take three months off to recuperate, but he had finally regained the strength to work as a hunter. Reina Ruu and the others had told me that he had been in unusually high spirits the night before, and had drunk an exceptional amount of fruit wine.

And so, I ended up heading to the Sauti settlement with the members of the Ruu clan—Rimee Ruu, Vina Ruu, Ryada Ruu, and Bartha. Two members of the main house who weren’t busy, and two guards to accompany them. Normally, there would be no need for guards to come along when visiting another clan, but there were lots of northerners and guards from town near the Sauti settlement at the moment. It would be worrying to send chefs to such a place all on their own, so those two had been chosen to come along, as they didn’t have any hunting work to take care of.

Bartha was of course dressed as a warrior, and Ryada Ruu was equipped with a sword and bow. Thinking back on his training with Donda Ruu the other day, Ryada Ruu didn’t seem to have weakened at all, his right leg aside. It would be difficult for him to run, carry heavy loads, or walk for long periods of time, so he could no longer serve as a hunter, but he was perfectly capable of dealing with folks from town.

“One wagon should be plenty for five people. And the Ruu settlement is on the way back, so you can come with us in Gilulu’s wagon.”

And with that, we were on our way to the Sauti settlement. Perhaps this goes without saying, but I had asked them all to ride along with me so that Vina Ruu would get pulled along for the visit to the Ririn clan. After all, there was no way they’d want to walk back on foot in this rain. The diligent people of the forest’s edge didn’t visit other clans without business to take care of, so I had concocted this little scheme to get around that.

I can just tell everyone I want to stop by the Ririn settlement after we wrap things up with the Sauti.
